“Jared Goralnick was interviewed on Digital Spin Radio, discussing email productivity and AwayFind.”
NPR, Digital Spin Radio
“AwayFind is a clever solution that...addresses one of people's deep-seated fears of email abandonment - the fear that some piece of critical information is going to arrive and we're not going to see it.”
“The online equivalent of having an administrative assistant screen your mail and only bother you for the important things.”
“If you want to save time and check email only twice a day, or less, then you either risk missing the occasional important time sensitive emails, or you sign up for AwayFind.”
“I’ve been a user of AwayFind since last summer, and I find the service has helped me manage my inbox a great deal.”
“While you're not checking email, your autoresponder goes out to anyone who writes you. When Mr. HolyCrapINeedYouRightNow gets the auto-response, he clicks on the contact form...”
“AwayFind creates a lot of new questions about email even as it solves older problems; the fact that [AwayFind] provided materials to help users through those questions is great.”
“Jared Goralnick was filmed for SomewhatFrank TV, discussing email productivity and AwayFind.”
“AwayFind is an effective and simple way to combine the freedom of handling today’s mail tomorrow with the peace of mind in knowing urgent matters will find their way to you in time.”
“What I liked most were the number of ways I could offer people to connect, and the categories to make sure their needs were crystal clear.”
“the ability to step away from your email without missing the really important items — the 'emailed emergencies'.”
“I have used AwayFind for some months now…Congratulations to him and his team for launching, but also doing it completely bootstrapped.”
“What a relief that you no longer watch every message that enters your inbox...You still have to deal with your messages, but on your own schedule when you can focus on handling messages.”
“Who doesn't love the idea of checking their inboxes only twice a day and having peace of mind that the urgent messages will reach you?”
“Primary guest on topic 'The Quest for Email Ninjahood'”
“manage your inbound email whether you are in the office or out on vacation so that the truly urgent stuff finds you.”
“Jared Goralnick was the primary guest, discussing productivity best practices and AwayFind.”
“Email management on vacation is awesome.”
“E-mail should work for you, not against you.”
“A way for those who must reach you ASAP to contact you with other methods.”

A time for full-bodied tangents
It’s time for a break from focus. I’ve worked too hard and it’s time for some day-dreaming. When was the last time you rewarded yourself and let your mind wander? I’m not talking about getting lost in a social network, blah. ..
I’m thrilled to announce that AwayFind officially launches today

Five confessions in failed attempts at “productivity,” where it’s led me, and where it can take you
I don’t write about productivity because it comes naturally. I’m more the psychologist who started as a headcase, hoping to both treat himself and uniquely identify with his patients. The following are my failures, some that I’ve learned from, and some I’ve yet to rationalize. Maybe my difficult lessons can help you to succeed. ..
